Fox News, MSNBC, Los Angeles Times, The Smoking Gun, TMZ.com, PerezHilton.com, not to mention Australian and UK media outlets, were among organizations that featured Goodman's story.

Goodman, 27, got a notice to appear in court after calling 911 three times after she reportedly was refused a refund from a McDonald's in Fort Pierce when told there were no Chicken McNuggets. She'd paid for a 10-piece McNuggets meal, and wanted her money back following a dispute over the proposed substitution of alternate food items for the McNuggets. The notice to appear in court relates to alleged misuse of the 911 service.

"We received requests from the media for the information regarding the incident from media as far away as the BBC," Audria Moore, police spokeswoman, said Wednesday. "We got requests from throughout the United States."

Moore said police officials weren't interviewed about the situation.

Some headlines about the incident encountered during an Internet search include:

• "Angry McNugget-deprived woman calls cops"

• "World's angriest McDonald's customer with McNugget 911 emergency"

• "Nugget Nightmare: 911 Called on McDonald's"

Saying they "never want to disappoint a McNuggets fan," a corporate McDonald's official said Goodman will, indeed, get a refund. Goodman also will receive an "Arch card for a complimentary meal on us," according to a statement by Carlos Solorzano, McDonald's operations manager for the Florida region.

"We never want to disappoint a McNuggets fan or any McDonald's customer," the statement reads. "Customer satisfaction is our top priority."

McDonald's statement:

"Satisfying each and every customer that visits our restaurants is very important to us.

"Regarding this isolated incident, we apologize for the inconvenience caused.

"In the event that we are unable to fill an order, a customer should be offered the choice of a full refund or alternative menu items. We regret that in this instance, that wasn't the case.

"We want to correct our mistake. We will be sending the customer her refund, along with an Arch card for a complimentary meal on us.

"We never want to disappoint a McNuggets fan or any McDonald's customer.
